ABSTRACT:
A canoe and paddle support to facilitate attachment of paddles to a canoe for storage, auto transport, and particularly portaging of the canoe. The invention has a body preferably made of a resilient material. The body has a lateral slot adapted to removably retain the thwart of a canoe, a longitudinal slot adapted to removably retain a canoe paddle and oriented in approximately perpendicular relation to the lateral slot, so that the paddle is held in an orientation approximately longitudinal with respect to the center line of the canoe, and a carrying surface facing downwardly when the thwart and the paddle are retained in the lateral and longitudinal slots and the canoe is inverted, the carrying surface being adapted to provide a convenient path for transmitting the weight of the canoe to the shoulders of the person transporting the canoe. The paddle supports are preferably used in pairs for securing each paddle to two spaced thwarts of the canoe and provide, in combination with the canoe and paddle, a stable support structure.
